Dewa

Ship Overview

All Ships

 Dewa — Japanese • Tech Tree • Tier VIII • Battleship.

One of the options for converting a Project A-140 battleship into an aircraft-carrying ship with a significant increase in her anti-aircraft armament. Significant losses of conventional carriers during the Pacific War, in parallel with the growing role of aviation in naval warfare, greatly intensified the emergence of hybrid ships in the Japanese Navy.
